Good article...why the MSM missed the election...
Let them stay at a Motel 6 and take them to the local walmart if they want to see the regular folks. A bed and breakfast is generally not a microcosm of the locals.
What a bunch of lamo punks. These kids will crawl back into their bubble, assume a fetal position and suck their thumbs for the rest of their lives.
In one regard, I fully understand why Mao hated ivory-tower intellectuals, mocked them, and made them objects of scorn during his Cultural Revolution.
The irony is that the guy who did figure it all out is a billionaire New York City real estate developer.
We, on the other hand, don’t need an antrhopology course or to give the National Geographic Safari treatment to leftist bubbles, it’s shoved in our faces daily via every single media outlet. We know for a fact that leftist urbanites are narrow-minded and don’t have a clue about anyone who is not like themselves, because they’ve segregated themselves. They only believe the best of people just like them, and they only think the worst of “those people.” It’s just like Jim Crow, only they’re the Klansmen and the Bull Connors now, and they hate the majority of the people of their own country. But we’re the biased ignorant ones, or so they believe. I’m beginning to understand how bloody revolutions became inevitable, in France and elsewhere. They’re really insufferable but oh so smugly certain that they know what’s best for people they despise.
Most of these elites have never done a hard days work ever. I would have been more impressed if they’d have gone out to Ted Nugents place or spent two weeks on a working ranch or farm
I had worked on Harvard buildings during my years as a union roofer out of local 33 . The impression I got was that the student body was immersed in surroundings of opulence and grandeur . The buildings and interiors were of the highest grade and maintained to the highest degree . This is easily done when you have endowments of obscene amounts from past students who have done well monetarily and the fact that the school itself pays very little if none on property taxes that “we” the unwashed must endure . To be coddled and sheltered the way these students are in the long run is a disservice to them in the long run . All the basics of life are handled by others leaving them inept when it comes to actually existing on your own two feet and wits and more importantly common sense which I believe can’t be taught in a classroom . Don’t get me wrong , I do not envy a Harvard student by any means I am entirely grateful with the great life God has given me and I totally enjoy the building trades that I to this day still generate decent money with . But the biggest difference I have from college students is that since I was small I never thought twice about just making the decision to up and move to a different part of America in my used car or truck with a little cash and my knowledge and a strong back . All the while taking any work that would get me the things I needed to progress , sometimes progress is not measured in money alone either...to summarize : I have met more dolts who have a college degree than laymen such as myself .
First and foremost, the problem is Harvard, not the heartland. These kids may think they are future leaders, but they can’t even begin to understand that an elite education is rapidly becoming irrelevant
Of the two, I imagine the students concluded the former.
It sounds like this professor has her head on straight. If only more journalists would spend time among the people, and lose that sense of smug superiority. The same goes for most politicians and performers.
Starts like one of the many “Conservatives In The Mist” articles we’ve seen in the past year or so, then we see that the observers are the ones being observed.
Thank you for posting this article. Wish more people would read it!
She depends on seeing what is really 'going on' in small town USA, and understand why a map of the USA is bright red with spots of blue where there are demonRAT cities.
Thanks for posting.
Good to iconic restaurants in three east coast States is not “the heartland.” They need to go spend time in small farming communities at hole in the wall restaurants and bars.
He's still a ways from the “heartland”.
Anyone else wondering how socio-economically diverse Harvard’s student body is? And that young people can have these kinds of sterotypes in the information age just astounds me.
Studying Politics at Harvard? That’s the definition of Narcissism. America would be better off with more aircraft mechanics.
Harvard Students......welcome to America. Its that huge country that exists between the Northeast and the Left Coast. You might want to get to know it some time.
